Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 3


Run The Jewels 3 is the hotly anticipated return of - and third full length release from - the legendary hip hop duo Run The Jewels. First off, I just want to comment on how awesome that cover art is. I've seen a lot of people on various online mediums posting about how shit it is but I think it is the best RTJ cover yet (even better than Meow The Jewels haha).

Anyways, this is a solid fuckin' record and it continues to expand on the sound that Run The Jewels are known for. Throw in a few choice guest appearances (my favorite of which is the abstract verse provided by the excellent Danny Brown) and a few oddly spaced out, experimental beats and you've got everything you need from RTJ and more. It is rare for bands to continue delivering knock-out performances album after album after album, but I firmly believe that once the dust has settled around RTJ3, is will stand in its place in time just as good as, if not better than, the records that preceded it. 

Standout tracks for me are: "Hey Kids" (the one with Danny B), "Stay Gold", "Thieves", "Oh Mama" and "A Report To The Shareholders".
